Coloplast has launched a new version of its Mio ostomy pouch, which is now available in an opaque black color. This pouch is designed to offer a discreet option for those who use ostomy products. Here are some details and insights about this new product:

- The pouch is identified by the HCPCS code A5056.
- It comes in a midi size, which is a medium-sized option.
- The stoma opening can accommodate sizes ranging from 3/8 inch to 1 ¾ inches (10–45 mm).
- This is a 1-piece pouch that includes a filter and is non-transparent, providing privacy with its black color.

Some additional points to consider:

1. Currently, the black pouch is available only as a 1-piece option. Users are hopeful that a 2-piece version will be available in the future.
2. There is curiosity among users about whether other manufacturers will also start offering black ostomy pouches, following Coloplast's lead.
